A years-long sex abuse investigation has resulted in an arrest, and detectives are working to identify additional victims.
In July 2021, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) was made aware of sexual assault allegations against a man identified as Daniel R. Eggleston. Detectives interviewed an adult female who reported that Eggleston sexually abused her numerous times between the ages of three and twelve. Through the course of the investigation, detectives identified two additional young girls who had been assaulted by Eggleston.
On Friday, June 26, 2026, a Multnomah County Grand Jury indicted the now 61-year-old Eggleston, a resident of Boring, Oregon, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, The United States Marshals Service arrested Eggleston in the 2200 block of Northeast Burnside Road in Gresham. He was transported to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) and lodged on the following charges: Sex Abuse in the First Degree (10 counts), Rape in the First Degree, Sodomy in the First Degree, Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the First Degree, and Mistreatment in the First Degree.
"My heart goes out to the survivors who endured unimaginable abuse, and I want to acknowledge the courage it took to come forward," Chief Bob Day said. "These cases are incredibly difficult, and I hope the arrest represents an important step toward accountability for the suspect and healing for the victims. I'm grateful for the relentless work of our detectives, who spent years pursuing the facts, supporting the victims, and ensuring this case could be brought before the justice system."
Detectives believe there could be additional victims due to Eggleston's association with a childcare program at Mannahouse Church (formerly City Bible Church) at 9200 Northeast Fremont Street. PPB is releasing Eggleston's photo to aid in the investigation.
Daniel EgglestonAnyone who believes they are a victim, or has information about this case, is urged to contact PPB. The case number is 21-801981.
